-The 'patches' directory
------------------------
-Some libraries that JOSM depends on, are patched for various reasons. The
-files in the patches directory can be used to roll back these customizations.
-This is useful in order to
- * inspect the changes
- * update to a newer version of the library but keep the modifications
-
-You can use 'quilt' to manage the patches. E.g. the following command applies all of them:
-
- $ quilt push -a
-
-Of course, it is also possible to apply the patch files manually one by one.
